I have 4.56 gears in my 10 bolt and have not broke them yet I wouldn't recommend wasting the money on your 10 bolt if you have a manual but with an automatic the transmission will likely have to be replaced before you break the gear set. The zexel torsen differential will also likely break before you shear off the pinion gear it doesn't like being launched on.

You stated why it's holding up...automatic. They are MUCH easier on the rear end than an M6.

Where can I find some 3:90's for a 10 bolt? Tick doesnt have them, should I call motive? I figure about 200 for gears 100 for install kit, and 150ish to have it put in the rear end after I pull it out of the car. So im figuring about 500 bucks?
